On Friday evening, 29 May 2026, the Age-Friendly Community Dance at Bundoora Hall was proudly supported by the Watsonia 50s Plus Club, the Bundoora Italian Pensionati Club, and Banyule City Council.
More than 150 people attended the event, enjoying a delicious dinner and an evening of Line Dancing, Rock ’n’ Roll, New Vogue, and Latin-style dancing.
Banyule City Council’s Community and Wellbeing Coordinator, Leoni Farrell, welcomed guests and introduced Mayor Alison Champion, Councillor Garotti, and Councillor Pasquale. Banyule staff, led by Leza Cullen, did an outstanding job organising and serving meals to everyone in attendance. Their efforts were greatly appreciated and contributed significantly to the success of the evening.
The event also raised $2,020 for the Watsonia 50s Plus Club Inc and the Bundoora Italian Pensionati Club.
Entertainment was provided by the lively four-piece band, The Booyans, whose energetic performance kept the dance floor full until 8:30 pm, with guests enthusiastically line dancing and rocking along to the music. The evening continued with New Vogue and Latin-style dancing to music presented by Dennis Richards until 10:00 pm.
